The way you talk about the assembly process reminds me of Gunpla. So I'm approaching my first Knight this way, once it and the magnetization kit gets here. These videos are super useful to learn what kind of techniques are unique to tabletop.
I love how this shows that you don't need the most fancy techniques for competitions like this. Just simple techniques done well, a strong vision and diligance will get you 99% of the way there. This is stunning work and I love how you don't overcomplicate things when explaining them. Lots of painters use lingo that turns off newbie painters. You explain things nice and plainly, even at this level of skill.
This was incredible to see. Thank you Vince. I hope I speak on behalf of everyone that sharing these endeavors is incredibly insightful and educational.
Incredible insight I must say I understand why you can't show us 100% but you describe to the best of your ability 100% and your transparency shows humbleness and the fact that you want me to be as good as I can be you don't care if someone builds on your work and shows you something new. Awesome sportsmanship bro
2:34 I am usually pretty zen when building mini's and I think that is why I appreciate that part of the hobby. I understand that is not the same for everyone. In fact I remember you (Vince) saying that with most projects you rather paint than build and thus are ok with cutting corners.
When using the tape, I had a thought about painting house using tape for mask--you mask then use either a layer of the base color or a layer of clear poly to seal the tape and then you go ahead with adding the second color. This way, the base or clear layer seals the gaps between tape and surface and you don't get any accent color bleeding under. (Of course, this negates the "free edge highlight" which might be a bit of a bummer.)
This is a packed video! Soooooo many tiny little tidbits. This one is saved in a special place to watch over and over(title Vince’s Futzing Tidbitz). Great job in instruction. And oh I almost forgot to say….the knight doesn’t suck! Thanks!
This is my favourite piece you did, out of everything you entered for the Golden demon just gone. Was just amazed by the paint job, & had so many questions as to how you went about it Vince. So as you can imagine couldn't have clicked fast enough. Thankyou for sharing your process, & the reminder & importance to set yourself microgoals in any big project .
Between 30min and 34 min is when Vince tells the secret to always winning, it was too powerful so youtube had to silence him :( Seriously tho Vince, you've outdone yourself this time, that pink is absolutely flawless and the freehand? chef's kiss. Look forward to seeing this badboy in person in Nov!
The amount of useful instruction you can pack into an enthralling 40 min video is tremendous. Definite save/watch/repeat material. The finished Knight is a thing of beauty and an obvious labor of love. Thank you for sharing this freely. Inspiring stuff man. Good luck at GD … cant wait 4 the new game drop.
11:50 very true. Thin oil washes can not only have a minimal effect, which might be something your where going for, but worse can more easily separate on you. Since I switched to thicker oil washes, this hasn't happened once.
Having painted a couple of large knights and a slew of war dogs, I’m definitely with you on the idea of breaking the job into mini goals. It really helped me to break the knight down by each panel, weapon, the legs and the chassis. My abominant took over a month but I absolutely love it.
This is probably my favorite piece of yours that I've seen. I absolutely love this piece, and there's some great tips in there too. Inspiring stuff, and all the luck at Golden Daemon when it comes around.
Sound quit about 31:38 I really do appreciated the systematic demonstration of painting such an advanced miniature!. Also, thanks for the beginning portion where you showed something of the process of assembly. I've just received my order of items from Archon, and I will have have LOTS of assembly to work on.
@@VinceVenturella I kinda like it, although I wish the voiceover faded while the background music crescendoed as we watch you make a broken deckal beautiful. Anyhoo great video 👍
Wow...that was YOURS?! Incredible! I was showing this model to my girlfriend the other night and we were completely infatuated with it. It is absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe it was you that painted it. That's great. I should have known. The more I watch, the more I see how much your painting style appeals to me. Great job 👏
Not sure if you could do all these steps on chaos space marines but even if you could get the burgundy, Violet, turquoise that would be a fantastic scheme! Cheers Vince for sharing this with us all
For those looking for hazard stripe tape it's easy to find it for relatively cheap by searching for pinstripe tape. This PSA has been brought to you by your local Iron Warriors player.
38:18 I have been working on getting a very smooth base rim and the best way I have found is to find black paint that will self level like Vallejo Black Primer (also more durable than regular paint). Put it on thick, but not too thick otherwise it will collect too much at the bottom (look for the sweet spot). It sometimes needs multiple coats, but the end result is worth it.
This was my favorite of yours. It was a pleasure to judge it up close at MHE. As for the inspiration, I took my backdrop away from my GD Drycha entry, as I had heard they didn't like backdrops...GW certainly has a favored style.
@@VinceVenturella real good man. Not wargaming anymore unfortunately, but I'm in Boston and working on my book series. Real glad to see you at it. I still roam some gaming forums and your art gets brought up more and more often. Looking forward to the day you become the sole authority of the painting world. Or King Venturella if you prefer. 😁
I love doing dioramas and similar forever taking projects, but never things of this size or texture because I really enjoy painting with a brush and get nothing from airbrushing.
Wow, incredible! My aspirations can only aspire to be this good someday. I love the bits of encouragement along the way. Especially since I’m nowhere near this level of proficiency yet. Vince, I’d be shocked if you don’t place.
17:07 I can tell that you are trying to get an even distance between the stripes. What can help is to place twice as many pieces of masking tape with no spaces in between en than remove half of them. LOL: you mentioned that option 30 secs later... That's what I get for posting right away. The reason I do that is because that way I don't forget what I was trying to say, but I run the risk of this happening. Oh well, there is always the edit button.
Don’t want to be pedantic, but I have the audiobook. It’s pronounced, at least by the British voice-actors Ban-E-Lash. Amazing book highly recommend, House Devine is badass.
I find it incredibly funny that I'm working on my first army piece, a Knight Abominant, and not only do you have a video on painting a high quality knight but its with a VERY similar color scheme to what I picked, haha. Mine is less vivid and the turqoise more neon to seem more spectral since its a House Korvax Knight, but this is still incredibly helpful!
Beautiful Vince! I think recently I've seen so much negativity towards TMM. It's nice to see it done to such a high quality. I would love to see some of the techniques you use to paint tanks, vehicles or aircraft. Best of luck at Golden Demon!
maybe there were two periods, where the voice was not there. Not sure if Vince had nothing special to speak about at these moments... However Great video and project. Completley not my choice of army or colors, but lots of insights and inspiration.
LOL ! You titled this a 'big' project 😆 So funny. Very nice painting! Very patience colour building. My BIG project is a Warmaster! In AT scale about the same size as a Knight yes, But ... I do the 40k scale 3D printed version. Now ... THAT's a big project! One question though; Did this Titan win a Golden Demon award?
For the inspiration I'm currently working on one of my golden level projects and I pick something I've never painted before just to try it I'm currently painting kalbanda the demon general corn so please wish me luck
Hey Vince, firstly, another great video and an incredible looking model. I love that you could absolutely guess you were the one who painted it without being told. In this video and a few recently, you've talked a lot about working with very thin paints through the airbrush, which if I understand correctly allows you to both have more control when building blends and work closer to the mini because the thinner paint means you can run the airbrush at a lower PSI. I've tried working thinly recently (ratios like 1 paint to 8 thinner) but whenever I do, I get paint drying incredibly quickly on the tip of my airbrush. Am I missing something obvious? It's not particularly hot or dry where I work so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Unfortunately the voice over dropped out for a few minutes around 30min, but this was a thrill to watch! Thanks for sharing your progress.
mistakes will happen on a big project like this. just keep going. xD
Drops out at 30:35, returns after the decal is painted, around 34:40
I kinda just figured Vince wanted to give us a chill moment of music and NMM painting that Decal haha
@Vince Venturella just so you are aware, the audio cuts out at 30:36 and comes back at 34:34
I was just coming to post this.
yep, audio gone, just was about to state the same
I'd like to try a slanesh Knight but maybe one day. Great paintwork.
Go for it!

just about to mention this. A couple of clear coats really does prevent bleeding.

This is actually a new one, the second I the line. :)
Extremely informative and inspirational, as always. And the end result is absolutely jaw dropping.
Love watching anything you put out. Your brush control always amazes me. The NMM decal blew my mind!
Between 30min and 34 min is when Vince tells the secret to always winning, it was too powerful so youtube had to silence him :(
Seriously tho Vince, you've outdone yourself this time, that pink is absolutely flawless and the freehand? chef's kiss. Look forward to seeing this badboy in person in Nov!
I heard him telling me to kill my family at that point. I thought it was some injoke I wasn't up on
Awesome work. I still remember listening to Vengeful Spirit on audible at work three years ago. I remember where I was and what I was doing vividly.
I really like the idea of doing stylized fire instead of a more realistic approach. Thanks for sharing the process.
The amount of useful instruction you can pack into an enthralling 40 min video is tremendous. Definite save/watch/repeat material. The finished Knight is a thing of beauty and an obvious labor of love. Thank you for sharing this freely. Inspiring stuff man. Good luck at GD … cant wait 4 the new game drop.

She’s a beauty. Nice work man.
11:50 very true. Thin oil washes can not only have a minimal effect, which might be something your where going for, but worse can more easily separate on you. Since I switched to thicker oil washes, this hasn't happened once.
Yeah I struggle a lot with how thick to make my oils. It’s so foreign when all you know is acrylics.
@@Socraz6 for me it's was trial and error too. Following the rule of thumb where you go with a thicker consistency than feels right helpend me a lot.
OMG!!!! It is A-MA-ZING Vince!!!!! You are so talented and I always learn something. Thanks you
Thanks so much!
Wow, now that's a knight Slaanesh can be proud of! Great inspiration for my currant project. Amazing work as always
Having painted a couple of large knights and a slew of war dogs, I’m definitely with you on the idea of breaking the job into mini goals. It really helped me to break the knight down by each panel, weapon, the legs and the chassis. My abominant took over a month but I absolutely love it.
Next level tips and tricks from Vince… RGB headphones for perfect blends.
Definitely agree about micro goals. It’s how you complete any complex project
This is probably my favorite piece of yours that I've seen. I absolutely love this piece, and there's some great tips in there too. Inspiring stuff, and all the luck at Golden Daemon when it comes around.
Vince, thanks for sharing this journey, so inspiring.
My pleasure!
I'm listening to this while painting my Salamander Knight Castellan
Love those colors. Those pinks and purples are just so vibrant and pop so well.
considering how good I felt watching you paint the black rim, I'm amazed you're still alive 🤣
what a project, what a result
Sound quit about 31:38 I really do appreciated the systematic demonstration of painting such an advanced miniature!. Also, thanks for the beginning portion where you showed something of the process of assembly. I've just received my order of items from Archon, and I will have have LOTS of assembly to work on.
It comes back at just after 34 mins, no
Idea what happened
@@VinceVenturella I kinda like it, although I wish the voiceover faded while the background music crescendoed as we watch you make a broken deckal beautiful.
Anyhoo great video 👍
Absolutely gorgeous. Bravo Vince.
28:25 I laughed so hard at that quote.
Oh, how naive we were when we thought that would be peak stupidity.
Absolutely stunning! Really appreciate the endless tips that you provide all of your viewers!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow what an absolutely incredible piece the way the purples and blues blend is something to behold brilliant video as always Vince
Thank you so much 😀
Wow...that was YOURS?! Incredible! I was showing this model to my girlfriend the other night and we were completely infatuated with it. It is absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe it was you that painted it. That's great. I should have known. The more I watch, the more I see how much your painting style appeals to me. Great job 👏
This was a new one, the original one you're referencing from Chicago was also mine, just the former version of this. :)
Nice callout to Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I recommend the read for anyone who hasn't picked up a copy.
Beautiful , just simply beautiful
Thank you so much!
@@VinceVenturella I just which the knight wasn't a chaos minion . Loyalist main houses are just ugly to me
I think I learned more about airbrushing here than previous videos! Fantastic effort!
U are insane Vince! I mean that in a good way, GREAT work and really nice video!
Not sure if you could do all these steps on chaos space marines but even if you could get the burgundy, Violet, turquoise that would be a fantastic scheme! Cheers Vince for sharing this with us all
I've used this scheme on marines, but you're right, it's harder just because of the small space. :)
@@VinceVenturella you must be a sniper with that airbrush! Cheers Vince all the best

This is a new one, the old one you saw at Adepticon was this one's brother. :)
Very beautiful piece, Vince
Absolutely stunning! Next-level work, sir!
Awesome video! Probably one of my favorite Hobby Cheating ever. Thanks for the great and detailed tutorial!
Perfect how to for my future fire wasps

I love doing dioramas and similar forever taking projects, but never things of this size or texture because I really enjoy painting with a brush and get nothing from airbrushing.
Hey Vince, that board which you painted those split knight pieces on, is a nice metallic piece of art. Frame it and get a new backer.
Really enjoyed this video. I really need to start using my airbrush more. So many great tips.
Wow, incredible! My aspirations can only aspire to be this good someday. I love the bits of encouragement along the way. Especially since I’m nowhere near this level of proficiency yet. Vince, I’d be shocked if you don’t place.

This mini came out amazing. And I know I'm a Vincy V fanboy. But damn it was my favorite GD entry.
I hope you win! Looks fantastic!!
When you mask, you should respray your base coat first. It seals the edges of the tape and you get crisper lines.
Don’t want to be pedantic, but I have the audiobook. It’s pronounced, at least by the British voice-actors Ban-E-Lash. Amazing book highly recommend, House Devine is badass.
Beautiful
Totally amazing!
Damn! well done vince! I just got an airbrush and this gave me a ton of inspiration on how else to use it!
Absolutely beautiful
Great video, loads of helpful tips for my next project, shame the sound cut out for awhile. Been awesome seeing this come together.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great project, great paint job and usefull advice.

amazing amazing amazing

Might still be too much paint or air, but it can happen, just keep a wet sponge next to you so you can clean regularly.
Love the knight! Great content Vince, hope you knight does well on GD :)
I'm obviously weird. I love assembly.
